A quick snapshot …

Today is the last day before my annual summer holiday.  I am off to Brazil! I have spent this week in a bubble of high joy and the deep anxiety.  Although I have tried to be calm, organised and ready for a happy reunion with my daughter; I find myself in a place of uncertainty and sadness.   I am hoping that this apprehension will lift when the bags are packed and we are safely on the plane …. any fears about our inevitable separation at the end of the holiday will fade. 

So I leave the library with this image taken from a book by Kathleen Hale Orlando the marmalade cat a seaside holiday and smile!!
